Pipe signs Scudamore as stable jockey

DAVID PIPE has expressed his delight at renewing the famous Pipe-Scudamore partnership after revealing Tom Scudamore is to become his stable jockey at Pond House.

Pipe has enjoyed a fantastic first season at the helm since taking over the reins from his record-breaking father Martin, but until now had not appointed a stable number one.

That position will now be filled by Scudamore junior, who has ridden a raft of big winners recently and takes up a role once occupied by his father, former champion Peter.
